Settings and Features

Change Seed Window
 
The Change Seed Window gives access to the following settings and features:

Seed Code Window
You design or edit the code of your seed model in the code window. The code must be in Karva notation and can be tested for structural errors before saving it as seed.

Add Neutral Gene
Adds automatically a neutral gene to your seed model. Neutrality is important for an efficient evolution and, by introducing a neutral gene, you are giving the learning algorithm more room to play and, hopefully, a better, more complex program will evolve.

Test
Tests both the structural soundness and the fitness of your seed model.

Genes
Shows the current number of genes in your seed model.

Head
Shows the head size of your seed model.

Linking Function
Shows the current linking function in your seed model.

Constants per Gene
This box only appears if random numerical constants are being used. It shows the number of random numerical constants used per gene in your seed model.

Numerical Constants Frame
This frame only appears if random numerical constants are being used. Here you have access to all the numerical constants of your seed model by selecting the gene number in the combo box. The numerical constants appear in a table where you can edit them. Only values within the range of -1.79769313486231E308 to -4.94065645841247E-324 for negative values, 4.94065645841247E-324 to 1.79769313486231E308 for positive values, and 0 are acceptable.

OK
Saves the current seed as your seed model so that you can breed new and better models with it.

Cancel
Cancels all the action on the change seed window.

Help
Opens the Help File.
